We welcomed 42 new families into the Habitat Homeownership Program this month! Fellow nonprofit Our Neutral Voices will be partnering with us to provide wraparound support and foster strong community connections for all of our families.
New Homeowner
Congratulations to our newest Habitat homeowner, Adrienne!
Adrienne has overcome challenges, made sacrifices, and poured her heart into building a better life for her family. At her dedication, she shared: “I am so thankful to everyone. Words cannot express how I feel, but my actions moving forward—the knowledge that I’ve gained that I can pass forward, the love that you all showed me, I know how to give that to my community. You will see it in the work that I give to the people around me.”
This home is more than just a place to live—it’s a reflection of resilience, love, and the strength of community. We’re so proud of you, Adrienne!
What’s New
Thank you, Jeremy.
After 8 years of leading this team with heart, humor, and more espressos than we can count, our CEO is heading on to a new adventure. We’re so grateful for everything he’s done, for our staff, our homeowners, and our community.
